  @Shadow87Claw 19. Only never had an AOL address. Hotmail is my oldest. Technically 18. My parents & childhood friend had waterbeds, not me. Never wanted one. Hurts my back & I felt like drowning.

  I was likening it to banning Usenet, BBS'es, forums, all of which I was on before 16 -- and AOL Instant Messenger which was invented after I was older -- but this is true too. Awful mistake. Though if it gets kids reading more again from boredom, that could be one silver lining.

  The Greatest Corporate Losses in History: The 25 Worst Single-Year Losses Ever Recorded Financial history is often taught through famous failures such as Enron, Lehman Brothers, WorldCom, or Bear Stearns. Yet many of the largest corporate losses ever recorded were far larger than those household-name disasters. In several cases, a single year's loss exceeded $100 billion when adjusted for inflation. The list of the worst annual losses reveals a striking pattern: nearly all occurred during either the dot-com and telecom collapse of 2000–2002 or the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–2009. While some losses reflected genuine economic destruction, many were massive write-downs of acquisitions made during periods of speculative excess. Below are the 25 largest annual corporate losses ever recorded, ranked by inflation-adjusted value. The Top 25 Largest Annual Corporate Losses of All Time 1. **AOL Time Warner (2002)** — Lost $98.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$143.1 billion** today. The failed AOL-Time Warner merger remains the largest annual corporate loss ever recorded. 2. **AIG (2008)** — Lost $99.3 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$127.6 billion** today, driven by the mortgage and derivatives meltdown. 3. **JDS Uniphase (2001)** — Lost $56.1 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$104.4 billion** today after the telecom bubble collapsed. 4. **Fannie Mae (2009)** — Lost $74.4 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$93.7 billion** today. 5. **Fannie Mae (2008)** — Lost $59.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$64.2 billion** today. 6. **Freddie Mac (2008)** — Lost $50.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$54.5 billion** today. 7. **Qwest Communications (2002)** — Lost $35.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$44.8 billion** today. 8. **General Motors (2007)** — Lost $38.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$41.6 billion** today. 9. **Royal Bank of Scotland (2008)** — Lost $34.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$37.5 billion** today. 10. **General Motors (1992)** — Lost $23.5 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$37.4 billion** today. 11. **General Motors (2008)** — Lost $30.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$33.2 billion** today. 12. **Deutsche Telekom (2002)** — Lost €24.6 billion nominally (~$24 billion USD at the time), equivalent to over **$30.0 billion** today following massive 3G spectrum write-downs. 13. **Vivendi Universal (2002)** — Lost €23.3 billion nominally (~$23 billion USD at the time), equivalent to over **$30.0 billion** today after its debt-fueled acquisition spree unraveled. 14. **Citigroup (2008)** — Lost $27.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$29.7 billion** today. 15. **Vodafone Group (2006)** — Lost $25.8 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$29.2 billion** today. 16. **Freddie Mac (2009)** — Lost $25.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$26.9 billion** today. 17. **Vodafone Group (2002)** — Lost $19.3 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$24.4 billion** today. 18. **United Airlines (2005)** — Lost $21.2 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$24.3 billion** today. 19. **Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) (2002)** — Lost over ¥2 trillion nominally, equivalent to over **$21.0 billion** today as Japan's telecom bubble burst. 20. **Nakheel (2009)** — Lost $20.9 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$21.8 billion** today amid Dubai's property collapse. 21. **UBS (2008)** — Lost $18.7 billion nominally, equivalent to approximately **$20.1 billion** today, marking the largest annual loss in Swiss corporate history at the time. 22. **Credit Suisse (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today, hit heavily by toxic mortgage-backed securities.

  I would never join BlueSky, it would be much much better to put a second sim card in my phone and have my followers have this new phone number. I was tech-social before AOL, MSN and BBM and it was just fine.

  @SmileyGnome @DarioCpx I am a still a big niche guy reminds me the early days of internet search (altavista, Aol, askjeaves, etc). Each one has their best use and worst. Also they are better at catching others mistakes than their own imho.

  @poe_real69 The bull case is that ETH is too big to fail — and too slow to succeed. It's the AOL of crypto. When's the last time you actually used it?

  It’s true what they say that you care so much less ab **** in your 30’s than your 20’s bc 20’s Valerie would have bullied that pathetic little account into shutting down through pure shame until the only internet they felt safe using was a ******* AOL cd rom from 1996.

  @ThatJohnJones Compuserve - there's a blast from the past! My first personal computing experience was a Viglen Genie circa 1990 My first personal internet connection was AOL - which I installed via a disc sent in the post Censorship was zero & the internet was amazing, if infuriatingly slow
